+For many years, the Grsecurity team [1] has been supporting two versions of
+their security patches against the Linux kernel, a stable and a testing
+version, and Gentoo has made both of these available to our users through the
+hardened-sources package. However, on August 26 of this year, the team
+announced they would no longer be making the stable version publicly
+available, citing trademark infringement by a major embedded systems company
+as the reason. [2] The stable patches are now only available to sponsors of
+Grsecurity and can no longer be distributed in Gentoo. However, the team did
+assure us that they would continue to release and support the testing version
+as they have in the past.
+
+What does this means for users of hardened-sources? Gentoo will continue to
+make the testing version available through our hardened-sources package but we
+will have to drop support for the 3.x series. In a few days, those ebuilds
+will be removed from the tree and you will be required to upgrade to a 4.x
+series kernel. Since the hardened-sources package only installs the kernel
+source tree, you can continue using a currently built 3.x series kernel but
+bear in mind that we cannot support you, nor will upstream. Also keep in mind
+that the 4.x series will not be as reliable as the 3.x series was, so
+reporting bugs promptly will be even more important. Gentoo will continue to
+work closely with upstream to stay on top of any problems, but be prepared for
+the occasional "bad" kernel. The more reporting we receive from our users,
+the better we will be able to decide which hardened-sources kernels to mark
+stable and which to drop.
